The sustainable business model pattern taxonomy—45 patterns to support sustainability-oriented business model innovation

The paper classifies 45 Sustainable BM patterns, assigned these patterns to 11 groups along ecological, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability and evaluated their potential to contribute to value creation. The resulting taxonomy can serve as a basis for more unified and comparable studies of SBMs and for new business model tools that can be used in various disciplines and industries to analyze and develop sustainability-oriented business models in a consistent manner.

The sustainability triangle offers a very easy way of thinking about sustainability and the compromises that the Thorngate's postulate of commensurate complexity indicates.

They map the categories into the sustainability triangle

The taxonomy of sustainable business model patterns can be found in a table view .

The results of the paper can be found in a #canvas online. In this website some of the tools are available and they are aggregated at this mural
